3.4 mm is more likely.

Re: Sharp LC-32SB24U

hi have you tested the inverter IC vcc pins and check for input voltage and so check the mainbord too for the smps you must check the ecap with the help of a ESR meter

Im surprised you didnt search on here for other people with same model. I just finished fixing one of these which also had a bad bulb.

I ordered 3mm x 705mm and i got it to work, but it was quite clearly not the right size. It looked to me like 4mm would be around right, but i didnt measure it exactly.

Be prepared for the biggest pain ever trying to remove the crimped on peices on the end of the bulbs (the new bulbs just come with a thin 22 guage wire on each end)

Re: Sharp LC-32SB24U

Just to close this out... I can confirm that part # RLMPLA029WJN1 is correct and works. I ordered from partstore.com $22 shipped. The fix was incredibly easy. The instructions from at fixya http://www.fixya.com/support/r105764...del_lc_32sb23u (although a slightly different model) were spot on. Thanks to all and especially Allen Bennett at fixya for the part # and perfect instructions. TV is now working flawlessly.

A lot of fun and my first TV repair. Now on to the Samsung 46" with bad capacitors.

Re: Sharp LC-32SB24U

Hey, I had this Tv before and fixed it with a ccfl replacement.
Now I have the same model and it has the same symptom (pink/purple ccfl), with that replaced, I can get the error-bypass to work (button combination) and everything is fine (as it cut on for only 2 seconds before on error-bypass) but everytime it is unplugged, it reverts to the backlight error.
Am I missing something or could it possibly be another ccfl?
